Rated 5 out of 5 by TW from Good for those extra messy mixes. This item is good for those extra messy mixes that have lots of dry ingredients that have to be added or for really liquid mixes that tend to make a splash. Some say this item needs to be more closed and allows too much to escape unlike a previous model. I haven't used the other version but would say that if there is to be a really wide chute then maybe the back can be closed up a little more. There are two areas where material can fly out of the bowl. However, I think it is much nicer than to have nothing at all. Some say that this item doesn't fit the bowl or it falls off of the bowl when the mixer is working. I found that it fit my bowl nicely. There are tabs that go on the outside of the bowl. If you fit two tabs on the outside of the bowl and find that there is one on the inside all you have to do is slightly and gently open the shield to fit the other tab on the outside. This allows the shield to gently hug the outside of the bowl. Voilà! Yes it would be nice to have the shield almost go all the way around except for the chute but I am happy with this item. I have purchased two so far. I do think the price could be improved on since the shield does have such big opening and is so easy to break. I'm sure I'll be buying more. If this is redesigned have a wide chute is great but the wide opening in the back is not. Perhaps they could be combined somehow or the opening in the back narrowed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by L squared from This shield fits my mixing bowl and really helps! This wide chute fits my 5 quart Artisan tilt-head mixing bowl and really helps with adding ingredients and minimizing splattering. It's not a snap-fit, but it rests on and sort of "hugs" the top of the bowl. Where the "U" is in the shield, I still get some ingredients up on my mixer, but it's way better than no shield at all! Again, I'm using it with my stainless steel bowl that came with my 5 quart Artisan tilt-head mixer. It will not fit on my glass bowl.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Bbeachum from Great shield But the shield at the beginning of the year at an outlet store. So far it works great I just don’t like the fit of it around my bowl

Rated 4 out of 5 by Suzanne Natafji from KN256PS: The Pouring Shield with a Necessary Tweak "A Necessary Attachment that Works well when Tweaked" For my Artisan 5-bowl mixer, I initially bought the wrong model shield, KN1PS; it was too big, and I had to return it. The refurb models aren't listed, telling what model number of shield to buy, so I looked at shields that would fit any tilt-head'150' model. I read the reviews and finally bought one that fits better, the KPS2CL, on sale with a terrific savings from one seller, but this model could still use a tighter fit. Problems with shield fit could be alleviated if KitchenAid created a table, denoting all mixer models (refurbs included) that each shield fits (and keep this table updated as newer and other models are created). Alternately, KitchenAid could create a standard shield that flexes to fit all bowl sizes but with a 3-4" silicone band or something similar with stretch that hugs and adjusts the shield to securely clamp down onto the bowl in use. (Note that there is no pouring shield that fits my glass bowl, which has a very thick rim.) For my Pro 600 6-bowl lift mixer, I bought the correct-fitting pouring shield after having read many online reviews and discussions: the KN256PS, but like my Artisan shield, it did not fit tightly onto the bowl; it also just sat on top of it. In the short-term for both of my metal bowls (5 quart and 6 quart), I jerry-rigged this problem by cutting up a T-shirt and am using the bottom part of it as a band now (tightened and then clipped with a clothes pin around the shield) to hold it snugly in place until I can find something that looks more professional and aesthetically pleasing. However, this works, so I would advise that buyers keep their pouring shields.

Rated 4 out of 5 by marlena from good enough It does its job. Sometimes flour flies out and it's lose on the bowl. But it's good enough.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Diana13 from Good concept I got mine as an accessory with my mixer (same package) but unfortunately mine does not fit my mixer. It seems to be warped and has been since I got it. One side of it sits fine, the other side is tilted up or something so it doesn't even sit on the bowl. It ends up falling off the bowl as I'm adding dry ingredients because of this problem so I can't even use it. It's made my kitchen a mess every time I've tried to use it so I ended up just putting it aside and had to stop using it which makes adding my dry ingredients harder and messier.

Rated 3 out of 5 by lpaiva from Didn't fit my bowl I purchased this for my new 5 Qt. Bowl-Lift stand mixer and it doesn't fit. It doesn't click into place the way it is supposed to and just goes around. It's as if it's too large for the bowl. I will be returning it as I cannot use it. I would still recommend it as I feel it would be great if it fit my bowl.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Rob from Pouring Shield I have used the pouring shield a few times and it worked great for me with the wet mixes but with straight dry ingredients, it's exactly like people have said. I modified mine a bit to help this but then I have my own shop I can do this in. If they don't have a redesign for the pouring shield you may want to try some modifications to make it work better for what you're using it for. The 3 star rating is basically because it works for me one way but not the other. So sort of a neutral rating.

Rated 2 out of 5 by kim from Not functional In addition to other reviews, it also does not function for left-handed people. I prefer to add ingredients with my left hand. I can use my right hand because I'm flexible, just prefer the left.
